" It looks like people are charging around from 8 to 10 pounds for a premium service, including cleaning the vinyl, etc.This may be a fair price for an LP copy service, but I wouldn't call it "premium" since the price will not cover the cost of a competent person listening to the output. You will be stuck with doing the QC.
If you want clean up and/or "remaster" then doing a proper job requires a first rate system, proper editing tools / mastering equipment, and a talented engineer (not an apprentice). It's going to take at least half a day labor for an LP, more if there's lot's of clean up. (For example, removing ticks can not be done automatically without a risk of removing music as well. Removing a tick manually involves a few mouse clicks and perhaps a minute's worth of work. If an LP is badly scratched you can see how this can turn into hours of work...)
